According to the Bucharest Peace Treaty of 1812, it became part of the Russian Empire . In 1828, after the border between the Austrian and Russian empires was settled, it was divided into Austrian and Russian parts according to a small stream, which at that hour branched off from the rivulet Rokitna and flowed into the Prut (now its channel has a completely different look). In the Austrian Novoselitsa entered the village of Lower Stroesti, which was previously an independent community. Customs offices were opened in Novoselitsa: in 1817 - in the Russian part (since 1814 a customs station operated there), in 1847 - in the Austrian.

In 1870, a steam mill, distillery, oil mill and 2 leather factories worked. An additional impetus for the development of Novoselitsa was the laying of the railway (in 1884 Chernivtsi - Novoselitsa and in 1892 Zhmerinka - Novoselitsa), making the town a significant transit point ^[4] .
